Backordering a Departure
You can backorder an entire departure, which closes all deliveries assigned to the departure and returns all delivery lines assigned to the departure to the planning pool. All deliveries will remain assigned to the departure.
If the Process Inventory Online check box is checked, the Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface concurrent programs are automatically run when you backorder the delivery. If the Process Inventory Online check box is not checked, you must run the Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface concurrent programs via the concurrent manager. See: Update Shipping Information and Inventory Interface
